Chicken Top

This is still my favourite Ottobre pattern. I madea few a couple of years ago and they were worn a lot. So here is a new one for Eva made from some fantastic chicken fabric I found at Spotlight (in the quilting section).

The only sensible picture I managed to take was of the back.

Love the red flower buttons

They came from a big pack of buttons I bought at Spotlight. Not the best quality, but they are great for children's clothes. They are also excellent for children to sort, group, pair, learn colours etc. A pack of buttons can keep a child very happy while I am sewing them some clothes.

Kate this is adorable -I love the chicken fabric!I have those buttons too - the girls sort them into one of those divided Tupperware lunch-boxes, all the red ones, all the teapots etc. This gives me extra sewing time - so in my mind it's a winner!

Beautiful dress! I must be going wrong somewhere with Spotlight - I don't seem to find anything inspiring lately. And great idea with the buttons as an activity for the kids - I'll have to put a bag on my list for the next visit to spotlight!
